[MeboDotExe]

i’m obsessed with the _power_ in “THE EAGLE’S CRY! THE EAGLE’S WINGS!”

[jacobharrell]

"What a pity that change only comes when good men die"

GOOD LORD I LOVE THAT LINE

Edelgard and Dimitri having a duet in front of Rhea while Claude is in the backround running from nemesis.

[thalternativeaccount]

Just one last boss theme: Rhea's Silver Snow theme! Also, Edelgard's actress/singer; MM! Absolutely astounding!

[Pendragoongp]

"What a pity that change only comes when good men die."

I'm sorry, but that is such a hard line, and it fits the story of Three Houses so damn well. No matter which route you choose, no matter how hard you try, someone good falls to despair and is ultimately killed for it on the path towards another's dream.

[fyra_cat]

The line from Edelgard "What a pity that change only comes when good men die" is absolutely amazing, because it both is a perfect villain line, and yet she genuinely means it because its true, which is what i love about three houses, there is no explicit villain (besides TWSITD), from any perspective, the story perfectly shows the opposition as villains, which in most routes is Edelgard sadly

[PhillipOnTakos]

Holy hot DAMN. This blew me away. The seamless references to other song titles and of course Edge of Dawn. The original lyrics hit so damn hard. The fact you actually use the fact this is the final song of both Azure Moon and Crimson Flower. To turn it into a beautiful duet. I wasn't expecting nearly 5 years after the game came out for something so incredible to be made by fans but this was amazing. Surpassing even your God Shattering Star rendition.

I'm not sure what you could do after this outside of Funeral of Flowers with Lyrics. Which even if you never do another Three Houses song again this is an amazing way to go out.

[PhantomDragonHeart]

I dont know if the music syncing up Dimitri singing "You Cut Your Path" with the gambit boost was intentional or an accident but its absolutely perfect.

[marianateixeiraqueiroz]

So, I know this is meant to be Edelgard and Dimitri's points of view on the war from each of their separate routes, but hearing those lovely vocals, I swear that I could imagine, at some point, after the war, Dorothea and a male vocalist just straight up singing this as an Opera piece after the war. (Probably because the vocals do remind of Dorothea's and Edelgard's support where Dorothea mentions an Opera about Edelgard being made in the future.)
Anyway, this cover is soooo good! And I loved the Edge of Dawn references in the lyrics too! Just amazing!

[ognoob]

My God, both VAs were IMMACULATE with their performances. You can really *feel* the emotion with each verse they sing!

[borbbirbwles]

2:15 "What a pity that change only comes when good men die."

THIS gives the chills.

[owenbridgers]

As a diehard Blue Lions/Azure Moon fan.. you can’t just drop this on me like this!

Now my entire day is just gonna be this video!

[Cam-suhw]

Thank you for making this a duet between Dimitri and Edelgard. Especially since I’m part of the minority who actually likes the both of them

[UltraV]

Ostara's performance is PHENOMENAL, got chills at how amazing her voice was at 2:00

[fyra_cat]

I screamed when Edelgard started singing, i was worried this was going to be an azure moon only kinda video

[hylianadventurer]

"The Lion's Roar; the Lion's Price; Hath slain the Boar; and Freed the Man inside"
Ok, this had no business being THAT GOOD ON THE FIRST LINE!!!

[LollyPop]

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but I really like how at the beginning of the song, the person singing from Dimitri's perspective says, "The lion's roar, the lion's pride, hath slain the boar and freed the man inside". It's a cool detail just because it shows how Dimitri was freed from his past. A "pride", last I checked, means a group of lions, similar to how "geese" is used for multiple "goose". So in this context, Dimitri couldn't escape his past without his pride, or, without the help of those around him who care about him. But it's also important to take note how despite the efforts of others, it wasn't until Dimitri accepted their help and began fighting with them that he was truly freed. Byleth, in Azure Moon, reaches out multiple times to Dimitri, but it is only when Dimitri accepts their help that he's able to move past his trauma and become more than it. Which is why I like that beginning line. Dimitri was literally freed by "the lion's roar" (himself) and "the lion's pride" (those who cared about him).

[BagelsNSyrup]

In Crimson Flower you fight for a Fodlan free from “gods” puppeteering the everything behind the scenes even if it means declaring war on your friends.
In Azure Moon you watch one of the people closest to you is now the face of the people who killed your family. In turn driving you to insanity until you finally are saved and want nothing more than to make up with your friend and stop a war.
The Apex of the World. Beautifully mirrors this and the emotions Edelguard and Dimitri are most likely feeling in their final fights.
Then there’s the Golden Deer wanting to bring unity and extending Fodlans reach to the rest of the world only to watch a war break out. Leading Claude’s to want to seek out the truth of Fodlan. And that truth turns out to be.


Mole people go BURR

Edit: I couldn’t help but add this but I love the line “The oath of the dagger betrays.” Dimitri and Edelguard become friends when they are younger and when they have to leave each other Dimitri gifts her a dagger to cut her own future. Years later Edelguard is now associated with Tositd who caused the tragedy of Duscur. Making Dimitris snap all the more powerful and saddening. Then in Azure Moon as you defeat Edelguard and Dimitri offers her mercy showing his character growth only for Edelguard to grab the same dagger that Dimitri gave her as her last resort.

[dhampir_days]

some of lyrics being pulled from The Edge Of Dawn is so wonderful, I love it!

and the VAs once again sounded like angelic choirs on god

[remnant]

Now we only miss A Funeral of Flowers and we'll have all of the final boss themes from Three Houses.

This cover is a major banger, especially the 3:28 part. It reaches the levels of God-Shattering Star in terms of how good it was in my opinion.
